Diablos and Pajamas

Greetings everybody!

I was siting about the other day and an idea struck me. One that I would like to share with the developers and the community. I'm a huge fan of the fact that our characters dream when they go to sleep and saw our dreams as a perfect opportunity for Diablos, to utilize them as a way to enter our realm and torment the player.

My idea as to how this may come to pass would be through quest triggers, similar to the way the Inn Quest work with Hildebrand. At some point in our travels we come across an item or key item, that must be in our inventory when we sleep. Similar to the lamp, found in FFVIII. Certain events would follow that would eventually lead to an encounter with, The Lord of Dreams.

My other idea that I would like to share is that of pajama, or nightwear. They would serve a far greater purpose than looks. Pajamas could have additional effects that could increase the rate of Rested Bonus, or even raise the cap for Rested Bonus that we can have, if only by a very small amount. Beds could have a similar effect. the better the bed, the more rested we feel when we awake.

Thank you all for taking the time to read and happy adventures to you all. :D

I like the idea. I think it would be a fun and interesting way to encounter Diabolos if the devs decide to add him. The Pajamas idea would be pretty cool too. Can't complain about extra exp. lol

If only I could give more than one like.

I really like the pajamas/beds idea. Though it would be nice to have a way to have 'the best bed' without having to look like everyone else's 'best bed'... (I'm assuming here that we'll eventually be able to sleep in our HOUSES instead of just inns) I'd like to be able to have a house that looks just like I want but is also as practical as I want.

LOVE this idea!!

I would have so much fun sewing up pajamas for all my friends and eagerly looking forward to that moment when you sit up from your bed and find out if you had a dream or not.

I like the bed idea (craft a bed to put in a house)
But pajamas would suck, making you equip them before going to bed (yet another thing to remember)

As for diabolos, then (if) he is implemented as a primal, I think that is exactly how they should implement him.

I can understand the concern about having to remember to put on your PJs, before sleeping. There is also a possibility that if in fact you do have them to wear at all, that there would be an option when clicking the bed that would equip them for you. Option could read, (Equip nightwear and go to bed). Wording is subjective of course.

I love the Idea of Diabolos being linked to our dreams while we are logged out. He is by far my Favorite Summons and I hope he's not held off for too long after ARR.

The concept of dreaming, that the team has in place, is just such a wonderful concept that really should be delved into as deeply as they can take it. I'd like to amend to the possible encounters that could be possible, to foes such as the demon brothers, Curlax, Laragorn, and Moebius. Diablos is clearly top priority, but as things go forward, beings that haunt dreams could really add dimension to dreaming aside from just waking up only to find a smashed Ginger Cookie under your pillow.

Really unique idea. +1 to the OP. may e for the final part of the quest all party members use a sleeping potion or something at a designated spot and everyone enters his realm.

Mega like. I wish I could like more than once too.

You know asides from this being silly to say it's a hassle to put on PJ's before you sleep, (Breathing is such a hassle as well) One good way to get around it is to have the game automatically equip your PJ's when you go to sleep or have them as some sort of "Setting" in your home to set the PJ's you wear to sleep(I'm sorry but I don't think we need our plate suits on in bed).

I'm going to like your post to serve as an additional like to the OP.

Dreaming for Diabolos is a brilliant idea! I'm all for it, since XI was the first to flesh out his backstory.

I'd also like to see Deathgaze/Deathguise while we're at it. Deathgaze is a recurring monster in FF that attacks airships. Depending on how airships work in ARR, maybe Deathgaze could attack the airship at random like the ferry pirates in XI. Either that, or at least have the battle accessible via airship like the Nael van Darnus fight.

Both are great ideas as long as we have a pretty good selection of PJs. I'd be okay with multiple tiers of PJs as long as there was a somewhat wide selection for each tier. Even though no one else would be seeing my nightware, I would want to be wearing the same thing as everyone else.

Great Ideas!! I love it.

This is a really cool idea dude.

Two thumbs up!

first Velour PJ's... i could be Zap Brannigan lol

second i like the idea of a Diablos dream but not just as a means to fight the lord of dreams but to open up a whole new area like sea/sky in FFXI

Wow! I'm really happy to see that so many of us are behind this idea. Now let's hope this gets the attention of the developers, and hopefully we'll see it happen. With their own spin on it of course.

Encounters via airship, I'm also very much behind. There have been several significant battles that have taken place, while on board an airship, within the series. Such as the escape from Vector, in Final Fantasy VI, the opening of Final Fantasy IV and certainly not to be left out, the battle versus Tenzen, in Final Fantasy XI.

As was mentioned above, a variety of PJs, would be fantastic, of both form and function. Some conservative. Some 'not so much', but still tasteful. When it comes to allure, every once in a while, things have be allowed room for the imagination.

Um I don't wear pyjamas. When I go to the Inn, I strip down to my blue undergear. Then plop into bed.

WTD Dream Tunic Dream Hat

As a bonus for sticking with the current version to the end, I want PJs with little Naels and meteors.
